- Once upon a time in a decade not too far away, I was a nineteen year old truck stop cashier. I worked the night shift and it was my job to keep the register as well as to keep bleary eyed truckers awake by pouring them mugfulls of coffee that strongly resembled 30 weight motor oil.The stop was at the edge of town, crouched against highway 82. Night shift meant that I could sit for hours at a ...

- Sorry kids. I have way too much to do than to blog today. I have to do the final edits on the Black Orchid story, plus get some wordage in with the Tor/Forge novel submission. There's also another contest I want to enter, and I have the first three chapters for it too, already, so I'll do some quick editing on that and send it in. Maybe luck will smile on me.Have a great day.

- As you’ve probably noticed, I tend to blog during the latter half of the week. I try to keep my blogging consistent, usually from Thursday to Saturday, depending on whether the weather is cooperative. The rest of the week is dedicated to working on current compositions. Last week the weather was not cooperative and I didn’t get much posted. And this weekend I’ll be gone.So I’m ...

- A few days ago I was pulling out my hair (what's left of it anyway) trying to figure out what to blog about. But this past week has given me plenty to think about. This week we've seen a wide range of topics, from pirates to politics, to hidden gems of singers to irate politicians wanting to secede from the Union.So there's a pretty good stomping ground here. But today, after hearing the most ...

- It's happened to all of us at one time or another. The jock who stuffs the nerdy freshmen in the locker, the cheerleaders who tease the less beautiful girls. And when you get out of high school you think that it's all over because we've all (in theory at least) have grown up some and are too mature to worry about the bully.Until you meet the one in the workplace.Children bullies, as I have ...

- It’s not like this hasn’t occurred to me before. Last year for example, when hurricane Ike literally blew over the house, knocking down trees, ripping off roofs and affecting power grids in our area (ours wasn’t affected; JW and I sat in the living room the entire time playing dominoes while the trees lashed against the roof and the wind wailed through the eaves) ...

- After many years of having an agent and realizing after all that time that nothing was happening as far as getting juicy contracts from traditional publishing houses (or any house for that matter,) I subbed all the work I had sent her over the years and found homes for everything on my own. Not the top tier publishing houses, but mid list publishing houses, which proved, in my mind at least, the ...

- The Case for E Books Way back in the mid 1930’ the paperback novels was introduced. This caused immediate revolution in the publishing industry. New publishing houses blossomed, new writers and genres found their way to readers eager to escape from the bleak reality that was the Great Depression. But there were detractors, of course, who found the ‘dime novel’ and ‘penny ...

- I'm not Jewish. Perhaps in another lifetime, but not this one. My aunt thought we were, because somewhere someone had told her that our ancestors (Cherokees and Kiowas) were the Lost Tribe of Israel. She converted in a way I suppose. She went to synagoge, ate kosher and observed the Sabbath. I remember her getting mad at me once years ago when I was in nursing school and preparing to move from ...
